Friendly colleagues
I previously worked at the young master’s SPEX eSHOP (Cheng Yue).
First, let me talk about the workplace environment.
The person you need to pay the most attention to there is the “princess manager.”
(P.S. She went from assistant to deputy manager within a year—what is commonly known as a parachuted-in manager.)
You could say that SPEX eSHOP operates according to the princess manager’s mood.
Her way of speaking could be described as extremely unpleasant, and she would even personally attack employees.
When the princess was in a bad mood or had a bad temper, she would take it out on colleagues.
The reasons could be anything from walking too loudly and having a small piece of paper beside your seat to making a typo in your copy—any of these could become the main reason for her outburst.
Even ordering lunch depended on her mood: you had to order what she wanted to eat, and everyone had to eat with her too.
Otherwise, she would get angry and hold a grudge.
Once you offended her, she would find fault with every one of your marketing proposals and make things difficult for you at work.
Regarding the work itself:
The marketing approach was far too conservative, the thinking was too old-fashioned, and there was no willingness to innovate.
The princess only looked for typos, while the young master only talked about old-fashioned marketing models.
They were afraid to spend money on innovation,
ultimately wearing out the marketing specialists, driving designers away, forcing excellent marketing managers to leave, and then complaining that performance was poor.
Regarding company policies:
The rule was that you had to clock in before working overtime. If you left work on time, the princess would assume you had too much free time and increase your workload.
BTW, if the princess had not left work yet and you left first, she would get really angry.
Main reason for leaving:
The reason I left was that I was “forced” to sign a resignation agreement.
The princess had disliked me and wanted to make things difficult for me for a long time.
Finally, one day, I made a typo in my social media copy, and she forced me to sign the resignation agreement.
(Of course, the coercion also involved humiliating me and personally attacking me.)
After I left, quite a few colleagues had also been forced to resign.
The reasons she gave for dismissing people were bizarre and varied; she simply wanted to get rid of them.
The above is my own personal experience. If anything sounds similar, it is definitely a coincidence (?
Please remember this!
The princess’s sense of authority was extremely strong, and her EQ was very low. She could make any decision without going through the young master.
Under no circumstances should you work for this company—you will regret it for the rest of your life.
